Haitian Dragonfly Eye Pillow

Take a moment for real relaxation. Our hand-embroidered eye pillow gently rests on your eyes, blocking light and surrounding you in the calming scent of lavender.

Each eye pillow is handmade by a women's sewing cooperative in Fonds des Blancs, Haiti. The cooperative began in 1996 to provide women artisans with fair wages; today, eighty women are employed there, using their embroidery skills to produce heirloom-quality items of great beauty.

Each purchase provides an extra donation to GROW -- Girls' Right to Opportunity Worldwide. Through this program girls in developing countries are provided the opportunity to attend secondary school, in turn providing them with a economically better, healthier future.
